Mondrian Animals


Second Graders studied the artist Piet Mondrian. They discovered that he created very simple art using basic lines, shapes, and colors. He limited his color palette to the primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and black and white. Students then created their own Mondrian inspired design in animal form!



Students were allowed to choose and design their own animal. We stuck to a cartoon style to allow enough space on the inside of the animal for lines and colors.


First they drew with pencil...


Then outlined in sharpie and erased extra pencil marks...


Then added color!
